      Add to Provenance.entity.agent a note: "Provenance.entity.agent is used in cases where the Entity that was used in the creation/updating of the Target, is not in the context of the same custodianship as the Target, and thus the meaning of Provenance.entity.agent is to say that the entity referenced is managed elsewhere and that this Agent provided access to it. This would be similar to where the Entity being referenced is managed outside FHIR, such as through HL7 v2, v3, or XDS. This might be where the Entity being referenced is managed in another FHIR resource server. Thus it explains the Provenance of that Entity's use in the context of this Provenance activity."

      Existing Wording: Provenance.entity.agent - Definition: The entity is attributed to an agent to express the agent's responsibility for that entity, possibly along with other agents. This description can be understood as shorthand for saying that the agent was responsible for the activity which generated the entity.

      Comment:

      If the Provenance.agent is an agent that "takes a role in an activity such that the agent can be assigned some degree of responsibility for the activity taking place", and the activity is the Provenance Control Act acting on the target Resource, then how does a Provenance.agent also be responsible for the one or more entities listed in the Provenance Resource that were somehow used in an unnamed activity which resulted in the target Resource of the Provenance Resource?

      Relationship among the Provenance Resource as an Activity with agents and the relationship between agents and entities used in the activity that resulted in the target Resource need to be clarified.
